- “The game is quite fun, graphics, art style, I love it.”
- “The graphics are not crisp and are so blurry that you can barely read anything, and everything else just looks like trash.”
- “Poor quality when playing, I cannot see a thing when playing on my device, it's like this game came out of production early, skipped a graphics setting, stuck with the crappiest quality you could ever get for a game, and I am appalled at the fact that you guys let this slide at all.”
- “I'm going to look into reporting this game to Google; these are the worst graphics I've ever seen for a video game. Imagine playing a Game Boy - this game is worse, and that isn't an exaggeration.”

The gameplay is generally well-received, with many players appreciating its fun mechanics, smooth controls, and engaging progression system reminiscent of games like Archero. However, issues such as frequent crashes, excessive ads, low resolution, and a grindy experience detract from the overall enjoyment, leading to frustration among users. While the game has solid potential and enjoyable elements, it requires significant improvements to address these gameplay concerns.
- “Gameplay is smooth and fun, enemies and weapons have good variety and map variety is great.”
- “The controls are easy to use, there seems to be a decent number of levels to progress through and the gameplay is fun.”
- “I like this game a lot... it has great ideas, cool looking gameplay and lots of items to boot.”
- “The game itself is pretty fun, but my experience has been that it takes hours of gameplay to keep even one weapon leveled up to keep up with the increasing difficulty.”
- “After defeating a boss, the game closes. In-game prices are crazy, there's no way to reset or choose your upgrade abilities, almost all the guns are pointless, and a few are exactly the same thing just with a different name, making it impossible to upgrade. The mechanics of the game are why it got two stars.”
- “Even if the game didn't constantly crash and result in you losing your loot and materials spent to progress, it would still be a very greedy game with mediocre mechanics.”

The game suffers from significant stability issues, with frequent crashes and freezes, particularly after watching ads or defeating bosses. Players report losing progress and energy due to these bugs, which detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game. While the gameplay is fun, the persistent glitches and performance problems have led many users to express frustration and disappointment.
- “I love this game so far and have been playing nonstop, but I have been running into a few glitches. One is where I beat a boss in survival mode and then the game does not let me progress. Also, when I restart the game, it remembers I was in survival but does not give me the option to continue.”
- “The major problem is that at least once a session the whole app freezes and crashes.”
- “The freezes and crashes cause you to lose your energy to play, so when survival costs 10 to play and then you lose it, it is very frustrating.”
grinding

Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessive and tedious, particularly after the second chapter, where it becomes a significant barrier to progress. While some enjoy the gameplay, many criticize the time-gating, ineffective gear systems, and the necessity of grinding for minor upgrades, often feeling that it detracts from the overall experience. The presence of ads further exacerbates the grind, leading to a mixed reception regarding the enjoyment of the game.
- “Most fights are boring and tedious, 'health on kills' makes you invincible, 99% of weapons and gear are completely useless, the time-gating system sucks, and there are way, way too many ads.”
- “Terrible gear systems designed to require weeks of farming for incredibly minor stat increases.”
- “But it gets grindy fast after around chapter 2.”

The story aspect of the game is generally enjoyable, but players express frustration over the high costs of upgrades and the limited resources available for completing missions. Issues such as energy depletion, frequent ads, and game freezes during survival mode detract from the overall experience, leading to a sense of imbalance and frustration in gameplay. While the narrative is engaging, technical problems and resource management significantly impact player satisfaction.
- “The game is awesome, but laggy. You only have 20 stamina; story mode consumes 5 stamina, while survival mode consumes 10 stamina. The worst part is that the game gets stuck while playing survival mode, forcing you to restart and lose 10 stamina, which isn't even your fault.”
- “If the ad freezes, you have to restart your game, which isn't too bad in story mode because you resume where you left off. However, in survival mode, it ends the game on the spot, and you need to wait almost 2 hours for your energy to recharge.”
- “Good game, but some of the upgrades are clearly subpar, and the app locks up often during the second video in a run, ruining survival mode and causing you to lose rewards when resuming story mode.”
- “The cost to play survival and a story mission is absurd; it should either be lowered or given a bigger energy limit.”
- “The game is awesome, but laggy. You only have 20 stamina; story mode consumes 5 stamina, and survival mode consumes 10 stamina (which you can play only 2 times). The worst part is, the game gets stuck while playing survival mode, forcing you to restart and lose 10 stamina, which isn't even your fault.”
- “Good game, but some of the upgrades are clearly subpar, and the app locks up often on the second video in a run, ruining survival mode and losing rewards when resuming story mode.”
